Letter
Unknown to Robert Patterson, June 18, 1861
HEADQUARTERS OF THE ARMY,
Washington, June 18, 1861.
General PATTERSON, Hagerstown : I had expected you to recall the regulars on the reappearance on the Potomac of Johnston with a formidable body of troops, and to keep the former until the importance of that novement could be ascertained. Tf await information from you on that point. Keep the siege guns and the Perkins light battery. Do not omit so many words. Sentences too incomplete to be understood.
HEADQUARTERS First DIVISION,
